Tl*the contact owns a 2006 chevrolet monte carlo. While driving approximately 25 MPH, the power steering suddenly failed. The failure has occurred approximately ten times and only in cold temperatures. The vehicle was taken to the dealer twice and they stated that the clamp at the end of the power steering lines was the cause of the failure. The clamp has been replaced at least six times by dealers and private mechanics; however, it has only been a temporary remedy. The length of the remedy depends on the temperature outside. The repair can last for two days or as long as three weeks. The contact called the manufacturer numerous times, but they refuse to repair the vehicle.

I have a 2006 monte carlo w/35k miles, clean title. Took it to chevy 2 months after purchasing it in august, 08. Steering issues appeared, very dangerous when driving. Chevy, "repaired" the issue, but 3 days later, the problem re-appeared while parking to move out the way for a car coming at a fast speed and almost got hit due to the defective steering. This scared my brothers 10 month old baby and we knew this had to be resolved. I'm not quite sure what I can do as this issue seems to be "repaired" but it is a very dangerous issue and I'm sure if you research it, you will noticed it is on a vast majority of gm vehicles. Please advise as to what I can do. I'm currently financing the vehicle, and would like to plane and simple cancel the contract. I'm afraid something worse down the road is possible of happening, and don't want a child to be apart of the scenario in the event it is a crash.
I bought my 2006 monte carlo, it has less than 23,000 miles on it. I have experienced continued harsh shifting/slippage of the transmission since I purchased it. I have had it in the local chevy dealership a few different times and they are not able to diagnose the problem. They say they can't fix it if it doesn't shift hard for them when they have it. Just yesterday I had to have it towed to the chevy dealership because it blew a power steering hose.
While sitting at a stop light my 2006 monte carlo unloaded it's power steering fluid on the pavement. The return hose had failed. This appears to be a common occurrence as it is the second time this happened in 3 years of ownership.
Leaving a place of business and had unexpected loss of power steering. Pulled into another parking lot and discovered a puddle of power steering fluid under car. Drove 20 miles home with no power steering. Husband discovered low pressure return power steering hose had failed (hole in hose).
Power steering fluid leak in fluid return hose.
I heard a noise in my steering. It would make the noise when you turn the wheel left or right. I took it to the dealership to be fixed. The first time(1/5/07) I took it in they replaces both inner and outer tie rod boots. The second time(4/4/07) they said there was nothing. The third time they greased it. The fourth time(9/19/07) they replaced intermediate shaft. The fifth time(11/14/07) replaced shaft again.

The mount that holds the rack and pinion steering failed and both front wheels were headed in opposite directions. The front of the vehicle bounced up and down a few inches above the ground. The contact turned off the vehicle and had it towed to the dealer. The dealer stated that they have never before seen this type of failure and will replace the steering rack. The current and failure mileages were 23,300.
I have a 2006 chev. Monte-carlo, bought new with 9 miles on it. I complained to my dealership ( cooper chev. Anniston al. ) about the car had a light shifting movement from left to right in the front of the car,( at 90 miles a hr. The card will dart to the left into the other lane )also a very loud wind noise coming from the windshield area,my dealership drove my car and said yes your car have a movement in the front end,and a wind noise coming from the windshield, they had me to test drive another monte carlo and it did the same as my car did, so my dealership said you do not have a problem with the car, since the two cars have the same thing, its normal for this car to do this. You have no problem. My dealership never even looked at my car,never raised the hood,I took my car to another dealership, they test drove my car and stated you have wind noise coming from both doors, the windshield, the bumper is loose, the grill is loose, the wiper blades are mounted too hi, I told my dealership about this and they said, I know them they can't find there way out of the rain with out help. I took my car to another dealership, they help a lot fixed some things wrong, but could not fix the wind noise, or find anything wrong with the front end,my car has a safety issue with the front end shifting or floating from side to side, I can not get a gm person to look at my car,or any help because my dealership keeps saying I do not have a problem. Since 2 cars do the same thing. I need help with this problem.
